Greengram Soup | Mung bean | Moong bean Soup

It was raining last evening and I felt like having something hot. I tried a soup with greengram and it was a superhit. Greengram is very nutritious as it is rich in proteins. It was very filling too. After tasting this, I am thinking of making this soup quite frequently.
